Finally managed to get to a blood donor session on Monday evening, it was advertised on all the posters as running until 6.50pm which meant I got there with 25 minutes to spare. Unfortunately I then got told the sessions run on an appointment basis and they didn't have any left! This seems a huge backwards step as there must be lots of people who can't guarantee getting there at a certain time and potential donors are getting turned away. I had donated regularly for years before having to stop for a while and never came up against an appointment system in all that time, why not just have a doors close time advertised for a sensible period prior to the end of the actual session? I haven't managed to find another suitable session that I can attend in the next few months.

I know what you mean. They are not always very accommodating at those sessions
